It's Jason Statham movie time! Which means a bunch of guys are going to get the crap kicked out of them and not much else. There are times when that works really well though. A really cheesy line goes on to be one of the most memorable in action movie history (Die Hard) or a ridiculous movie with an over the top storyline becomes somewhat of a cult classic solely for it being so unbelievable (Crank). Safe is none of those things. It's embarrassing and silly....

When "Safe" embodies the essence of its title as the adjective that refers to being free from harm, it is a magnificently exciting thrill ride. However, when it takes on the noun that refers to a locked container, it becomes boring and clichéd.Worst of all, the viewer can distinctly discern the turning point because it occurs just as the focus of the new actioner from writer/director Boaz Yakin switches from emotional to cerebral....

It boasts an unstoppable, adrenaline-fuelled energy - from street-level chase scenes to shoot outs in hotels, bars and restaurants. Coupled with Statham's gruff machismo, it makes for a surprisingly satisfying slug-fest.
